Just dropped today from ‘Norman Barrington’. 

‘Roughly Chronological, 1950-2000, but sometimes by the date of use rather than when was made. Includes TV Radio and a cinema one from both sides of the Atlantic and beyond. 

I also gave Radio One a separate section in it's own right, since it's such a particular story. I have tastefully foreshortened many of the longer more repetitive news beds to create a better listening experience. 

US listeners may not know the early News themes from the UK, but if it sounds like a military band, it's British and contrasts with the more modern contemporaneous sound in the US back in the 1950s. We should never have exported Eric Siday to the States!’

‘PAMS GUILTY PLEASURES’ – PART ONE

This is what keeps me happy for days. I have been working on this project for the past 3 years, inspired by ’PAMS’ 70th anniversary! Here is a montage of some of my favourite ‘PAMS’ Jingles, the whole thing goes on for a ridiculous 3 hours (I love listening to them loud on a long car journey). Don’t worry I have cut it down into 3 parts. Part 2 and 3 still need a lot more work.  Thankfully you no longer have to do this on a reel-to-reel machine.

Many have gone before me doing ‘PAMS’ montages. I was inspired to do this hearing from others including Ken R Deutsch, Jon Wolfert, Tracy Carmen on (REEL RADIO), the late Michael Neff whose collection I would love to have had a copy of, Norman Barrington who has an amazing collection, and has been very helpful. Norman has kindly done a 10 minute ‘curated edit’ for those who cannot stand the 50 mins worth.   

Please anybody know who ‘Storm King’ is or was? Sam Ward? Thanks to everyone else not mentioned who has helped me with this project.

A very special thanks has to go to KEN R who saved so many of theses PAMS tapes from being dumped. 

What I love so much about PAMS, pre series 40 was that you can sing along to them, they are so catchy! 

Hope you enjoy it as much as I have had putting it together.
